WIRED – Remigo One Electric Outboard Motor Review: Boating Without the Gas Hose

Wired: Remigo One Is a Very Compelling Outboard

In mid-2025, Wired published a hands-on review of the Remigo One that highlights why it’s becoming a strong choice for small boat owners looking to go electric. The reviewer’s experience shows how the motor performs in real use and why electric propulsion resonates with everyday boaters. 

The article focuses on simplicity and usability. The Remigo One’s all-in-one design — with the motor and battery integrated into a single unit — makes it quick to mount and remove, and it weighs only about 25 pounds, which makes it easy to carry and handle even if you’re on your own. 

On the water, the reviewer notes:

• The Remigo One runs quietly and smoothly, especially at lower speeds, making trips across calm waters feel peaceful rather than noisy. 
• Top speed reaches around 5–7 knots depending on conditions, with a runtime that ranges from about one hour at full power to up to about ten hours at lower settings — meaning several miles of range for many typical outings. 
• Controls are intuitive, with simple push-button speed selection and clear LED indicators. There’s also an optional remote for even easier throttle control from anywhere on the boat. 

The review emphasises how well the Remigo One suits small dinghies, bass boats and similar craft for everyday use — whether you’re cruising, fishing or just exploring local rivers and lakes. It also notes that the Remigo One stands out for its ease of setup and operation compared with some competitors that use separate battery packs and more complex assemblies. 

For anyone thinking about switching from petrol to electric propulsion but unsure where to start, this kind of real-world testing helps show what current electric outboards feel like in everyday use.
